Our Landowners
Elmboog’s 114 landowners are organised into 19 CCs (6 landowners each) and make up the Beneficiary Trust, which is represented by the Trustees and owns 100% of the business, including the 8 ha of additional land.
Landowners earn annual rental income from the farm for use of their land, as well as profit share income, which grows alongside the farm.

Our Community
The Onseepkans community, with its 2,500 residents, is nestled in three small settlements—Melkbosrand, Viljoensdraai, and Sending—surrounded by a breathtakingly beautiful yet harsh landscape. Remote and rugged, this corner of the Northern Cape is defined by scorching summers, cold winters, and the relentlessness of the elements. Here, people have learned resilience, carving out their lives with determination and resourcefulness.
At the heart of it all is Elmboog Organiese Boerdery, the community’s largest employer and a vital hub of social and economic life. More than just a farm, Elmboog provides livelihoods, opportunity, and a sense of shared purpose in a place where endurance and hope are woven into daily existence.
